About

Max Good released his first feature documentary in 2011, Vigilante Vigilante: The Battle for Expression, a unique exposé on the phenomenon of anti-graffiti vigilantes. The film screened at venues worldwide, including the New Orleans Film Festival and the International Festival of Films on Art. It can now be seen on Netflix. Previously, he worked as assistant producer and distribution manager on the Academy Award-nominated documentary, The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. Perpetual Ed, Max's first short documentary at Stanford, premiered at the Sheffield Doc/Fest in 2014. Dry Season, co-directed with fellow student Tyler Trumbo, has played at several festivals, including the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival and United Nations Association Film Festival.

Max is fascinated by marginal characters and provocative stories. Often taking an interventionist approach, his films aim to challenge comfort and complacency.
